Determination of a dispatch strategy to maximize income for a wind turbine-BESS power station

A dispatch strategy is proposed for the purpose of maximizing the income for a wind turbine - dual battery energy storage power station. The strategy takes into consideration the complex relationship between the efficiency of the battery and the BESS discharge level while meeting the prevailing power market rules. The technique requires an accurate forecast in both the variable wind power and electricity tariff. Solution to the optimization problem is based on an iterative computational procedure. A case study is included to demonstrate the main findings of this investigation.
